Must be specified in the ALPHABET clause of the SPECIAL-NAMES paragraph. Any one of the alphabet-name clause phrases can be specified with the following results:

STANDARD-1

>_Host_> Under OS/390 and VM, the ASCII collating sequence is used for all nonnumeric comparisons. (The ASCII collating sequence is in Appendix B, "EBCDIC and ASCII Collating Sequences" in topic APPENDIX1.2.) <_Host_<

>_Workstation_> Under AIX, OS/2, and Windows the collating sequence is based on the character's hex value order. <_Workstation_<

STANDARD-2

>_Host_> Under OS/390 and VM, the International Reference Version of the ISO 7-bit code defined in International Standard 646, 7-bit Coded Character Set for Information Processing Interchange is used for all nonnumeric comparisons. <_Host_<

>_Workstation_> Under AIX, OS/2, and Windows, the collating sequence is based on the character's hex value order. <_Workstation_<

NATIVE

>_Host_> Under OS/390 and VM, the EBCDIC collating sequence is used for all nonnumeric comparisons. (The EBCDIC collating sequence is in Appendix B, "EBCDIC and ASCII Collating Sequences" in topic APPENDIX1.2.) <_Host_<

>_Workstation_> Under AIX, OS/2, and Windows, the collating sequence indicated by the locale is selected. <_Workstation_<

EBCDIC

The EBCDIC collating sequence is used for all nonnumeric comparisons. (The EBCDIC collating sequence is in Appendix B, "EBCDIC and ASCII Collating Sequences" in topic APPENDIX1.2.)

literal

The collating sequence established by the specification of literals in the alphabet-name clause is used for all nonnumeric comparisons.

When the COLLATING SEQUENCE phrase is omitted, the PROGRAM COLLATING SEQUENCE clause (if specified) in the OBJECT-COMPUTER paragraph specifies the collating sequence to be used. When both the COLLATING SEQUENCE phrase and the PROGRAM COLLATING SEQUENCE clauses are omitted, the EBCDIC collating sequence is used.
